Interesting those Fiats had disc brakes in 1960 (unless that was an update between ‘60 and ‘65). Ferraris and Alfas were just getting disc brakes early 60’s.

Another from a ride out the railroad bike trail. Fresh from a trip to the Goodwood Revival no doubt. Note that it has already taken down several Ford sedans. It may look rough, but notice it has brand new, very expensive tires on those HD axles.

VLN will know that ^. I'd say 1965 Dodge p/u.


Have I put these in here? I don't think I have. From near DU, two years ago. "Vehicle" answer not accepted, sorry. Yes, I do know what it was when it left the factory and that's the answer I'm looking for.

Someone put a LOT of work into this, and in no way am I making fun of it. I wouldn't drive it, but I think it's awesome someone does. Life is short, do what makes you happy.

Her dad sold it in the early 90s to pay for her college, and I think I picked up a degree of sadness from her message, although she didn't indicate that outright. It makes me sad vicariously. She really did love that thing.
A very very tidy early baby blue.....
